I hope to hell someone added that honk in editing. HA!

Says Sweden when you follow the link.

And just as a FYI. Hydraulic beds can get weird failures where they will raise on their own. I was told stories about one that would raise on it's own due to some problem with the controls, and the guy wasn't paying attention and drove down the road smacking all the traffic signals. AFAIK newer trucks have lock outs to disable the lift of the bed, but shit happens.

Honk at em if you see some going down the road with their bed raising (aside from salt trucks), cuz you never know what they might have in their bed that'll come spilling over on you. (seen a truck like this one hauling human waste they would put on crops but had too much of so it went to the landfill...looked like pudding and landfills smell really bad...and you could smell from a half mile when that truck was coming to be weighed on it's way in.....I still don't know how he legally hauled that around in what is essentially a non-sealed container.

This video was touching on much more than smiling. That being said, it can be annoying when people TELL you to smile. It is a bit rude and sometimes embarrassing to single someone out like that especially if you don't know them or what they are going though.

Edit: Also, it doesn't take a large city like New York for constant cat calls to happen. Since the age of 11 I found it awkward to walk or ride a bike to the mall or any other crowded area as I would get honked or yelled and that's coming from a medium/small city in Montana. I'm glad to now live in a place where people typically respect each other's privacy in public.

And typical non-cyclist response. Nothing new to see here either.

All I see is a bunch of assholes who honk at me, try to hit me on purpose (one intentionally ran me over), and hundreds of people a day with absolutely no respect for someone else's life. And all that happened while in the bike lane. Oh, the guy who ran me over? He hit me because I WAS obeying traffic laws. Both the person behind him and the officer both concurred.

So yeah, nothing new to see here, right?

did i really just watch nearly 10 mins of douchebags honking horns at people...man i need a life!

Found the video on another site since YouTube no longer has it. http://www.radiolive.co.nz/VIDEO-Bikers-chase-Range-Rover-through-New-York-City/tabid/673/articleID/38178/Default.aspx

After watching it, I must say, if I was the RR driver, a lot more bikers would be dead. The bikers got off easy from the looks of it. The RR could have swerved into them while they were riding up past him, could have aimed for them etc. Hell, if it had been me, the first guy that came and tried to open the door up wouldn't be alive anymore. And neither would the guy busting open my window.

But hey, that's just the way I'd react to a gang of bikers purposely harassing myself and my kid.

Then again, as a cyclist, I just call the cops and file a report when someone driver slights me purposely. And as many have said, we don't know what happened before the segment posted, but I would wager a fair bit of money that the most the RR would have done was yell at them or honk, or in the midst of a sudden onrush of motorcycles while trying to change lanes freaked out and didn't know what to do.

Car goes honk
Boat goes toot
Plane goes neeeeeeaaaaaarrrrroooww
and brakes go squeak.

But there's one sound
That no one knows
What does the HULK say?

SMASH-A-SMASH-A-SMASHSMASH

Am I the only one who thinks that is a pile of mud?

I have never seen a field with cow pats in only one place. And that is one honking huge cow pat.

Stopping may be a tradition, but it seems silly. Unless you see a hearse, how is one supposed to divine that the traffic jam is indeed a funeral procession and not Great Gramgram meesin' up everyone's Sunday? ...I guess you have the guy in the green GMC honk and try to run people off the road.

Also, how the F did only 1 car get hit?!

I'm RICH BITCH!!!! *honk honk*

Heh.

It's much more fun to swerve the car and honk at the same time. Much more convincing, but if it's too good you end up having to clean urine off the seat.

I just like how it all comes back around.

Some guy sitting at a stop light is startled and confused over some Deja-vu scenario he is going through. She is there to witness it, annoyed, and unwittingly falls into the same schism, as she is set on a similar path.

Only this time, the guy having the original hallucination becomes that delusion and she sees him not once but twice during her experience.
It ends with her being the person sitting at the green light in the Deja-vu scenario, the same as the first guy, with someone behind her honking.

The twist is that her delusion is a strange loop of the first guy's delusion.

We are left to wonder how the first guy's delusion started and continued and we are left to wonder who will next take on the delusional loop - the person behind her, honking, maybe?

I don't agree with @Orz's explaination. This story held no allusions to stereotypes, opinions of others, equality or anything else like that. (at all) That' just reading things into it that aren't there..
I saw a great loop of events that make you stop and think wow, that's some messed up trippy Twilight Zone stuff right there..

Wallace didn't ask for all the details. He just asked ballpark how much the 20% comes out to without reference to the loopholes. If Ryan can confidently say that with the loopholes closed it's revenue neutral, then he must be able to say the amounts on each side.

Also, if it's revenue neutral, that means on average, Romney/Ryan are promising precisely nothing except uncertainty about whether you'll go up or down.>> ^VoodooV:

did Paul Ryan just admit that torture doesn't work? That's gotta honk off the Republican establishment.
In Ryan's defense though. The budget is this insanely complicated thing. He's absolutely correct that you can't just give a few sound bites that adequately summarizes things up. We live in a complex world, you can't reduce lots of things into sound bites that will satisfy the armchair politicians
